Pomp and Circumstance

Well...I am 3 days away from my college graduation, and 22 days away from my 22nd birthday! What does this mean? I am an adult!! (YIKES) My friends and I have been talking everyday about the things you realize when you're graduating college, the things you do as an adult, and more importantly, the things you DON'T do as an adult. So, for your enjoyment, I've compiled a list of 10 things I'm trying to do/not do as an adult:

1. When I take my clothes off at the end of the day, I hang them up instead of throwing them on the floor or laying them across my chair.
2. I don't buy any clothes that I couldn't wear as a teacher.
3. I eat vegetables.
4. I make my bed every morning...and every afternoon, after my nap =)
5. Even when I have the opportunity to sleep all day, I wake up no later than 9 or 10am.
6. I throw away everything just so I won't have to pack it, and even worse, unpack it later.
7. I don't go to WalMart in my pajamas anymore...not even when I'm sick and going to the pharmacy.
8. I changed the voicemail on my phone to a more "professional-sounding" message.
9. I fall asleep wherever I am at 8pm. Seriously.
10. I got rid of my Dorothy slippers. Red, glittery shoes aren't gonna fly anymore.

10 Things I still do that I probably shouldn't as an adult...
1. I ordered Bumpits online. If you're unfamiliar with the bumpit, just visit their website www.bumpits.com
2. I run outside to catch the ice cream truck and then order the Tweety bird treat.
3. I sleep in my makeup every night...and often, just cake it on right over the next morning.
4. I watch Reality TV Shows like "Tool Academy" and "Pretty Wicked".
5. I am still trying to work on my breakdancing skills...I almost have a one handed handstand grabbing my feet!
6. I still own a Disney Princess glasses case.
7. I sit Indian-style in booths at restaurants and chairs in class.
8. I don't shower often enough. Haha.
9. I tell jokes like "What did Dela-ware? A New Jersey!" and think they are hilarious.
10. I ride a bright purple and pink bike with a light-up bell on it.

Maybe I'm not QUITE ready to grow up....Good thing I'm going to work with kids my whole life! =)
